All Chapters of To Love Again: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Marissa's POVJordan turned to look at Roshan with anger in his eyes.“What did you just say to me?"I looked between both men not knowing what to do. I had no idea what Roshan was talking about, but the way that Jordan had reacted told me that whatever this was that they were talking about, it must have been an old wound that cut deep.Jordan looked ready to throw a punch as he stalked closer to Roshan. The air was heavy with tension, and just as I thought that both men would be reduced to blows, a bulky looking man in a grey suit walked up to them.“Gentlemen! I'd hoped to catch you before you leave."The tension seemed to dissipate slowly. Jordan was the first to turn to the man. “Mr Kavinski.” He said, extending a hand.The burly looking man shook his hand with vigour, and turned to greet Roshan who now smiled heartily.“It was an honor to have you two in the building today! Thank you!” He said, turning between both men with a huge smile on his face."Come, Jordan. I would like t

Just before I turned the doorknob, I balanced the bottle behind my back. Better to catch my attacker unaware. I took a deep breath, and then looked through the small peephole. The figure that looked outside was tall. Definitely a man. He wore a dark suit and… wait, what?I threw the door open. “Mr Kingston?” What the hell was he doing here?He smiled and waved hello.“What are you doing here?” I asked."Ouch! Pretty direct, huh?” He said and laughed.What had he been expecting? A ‘Hello! Nice to see you! Please come in.’? How did he even know where I live? I stood at the door, waiting. He scratched his head before speaking. “Okay, so Lilian asked me to pick up a package from her designer, and Dane just happened to mention that you live around here so I thought I'd drop by and say hello.”Oh! Of course Dane would know where I lived. He'd brought me home twice now. Still didn't explain why they were paying me a visit at this time, though. “Err.. you think I could come in?" He asked,

We ended up getting new dresses for the birthday party. Chloe literally dragged me into a store, and made us try on every single dress available. By the time that we each settled on something, everyone in the store breathed a sigh of relief.Chloe stayed back home on Friday to allow herself enough preparation time while I went to work. Party or not, Jordan Kingston walked into the building at exactly 9:00am, barely five minutes after I got in.To his credit however, he swung my door open at 3:00pm and asked me to go home. I protested, but he insisted. He was leaving too. He had to get to his parents' house in an hour, then he would pick us up at 7.I was home in half an hour. Chloe was gone for her spa appointment. After she'd tried and failed to recruit me on her slay mission, she'd decided to just do it by herself.Yesterday, she wouldn't stop talking about how she was convinced that this party was her chance to meet her Mr Right, and how she was tired of going on several dates with

Marissa's POVI felt like a thousand butterflies had been let loose in my stomach as his lips roamed slowly over mine. At first, I was too stunned to respond, but then his tongue probed my closed mouth, and as I opened, it felt as if a switch was turned on in me.I placed a hand over his chest, as I let my lips run over his. His tongue sought mine and found them, and I heard myself let out a moan as his hands cupped my breasts through the dresss.It was he who pulled back. He rested his forehead over mine and let out heavy gasps of breath. His hands were still on my breasts.As I fought to catch my breathing, the realization of what had just happened suddenly hit me, and I jumped to my feet. What had I been thinking?I took one step back, and then another. He rose to his feet.“Marissa….”“Excuse me.” I said, and left the enclosed garden in a near run.I went into the hall and walked straight towards Chloe who was at this time, holding a glass of wine in one hand, and staring into Cal

Marissa's POVI looked at my reflection in the mirror one last time before going down to join Chloe who is already set.“All good?" She asks, and I nod. “Great. Whatever happens, you have to keep a cool head. Don't let that asshole get under your skin, and don't lose your confidence. You've got this, Rissa, okay?"I nodded again. “Yes, yes. I won't let him or anything get under my skin. Thank you Chloe.” I said, and we got out of the house and into her car. It was the second hearing for Anthony's and my divorce today, and I was nervous. Outside the courthouse, I clutched the strap of my purse so tightly that my knuckles grew white.Chloe walked over to my side and took my hand in hers. There were no words needed between us. I flashed her a weary smile and thanked the heavens for the day I met her.Chloe's parents were already seated inside. We walked over to their side and Mr Jenkins got up to hug me. Nancy mirrored the action.“How are you, sweetheart?" She asked.I sighed. “I just
